Each Breathe We Take

Each breathe we take nourishes our soul With life-giving, God-given spiritual nutrients, Inhaling, we expand our opportunities to bless Exhaling, we extend them to those around us. Breathe is much more than an organic process But is the spirit of our Creator living and moving Through us to sustain our lives and make us A blessing of peace and goodwill to humankind. written August 10, 2021 FIRST PLACE WINNER Brian Strand's "You Choose" Poetry Contest August 13, 2021
